Hello everyone my name is anna. I am new to witchcraft. I have been here soaking up all the information the last couple of days. I mostly interested in herbs, crystals and lunar magic. I am hoping to start practicing soon. I am currently working on meditation and trying to calm my mind before I start any spell work.

Hello @anna,
Welcome to the forum! I’m Bry, another one of the moderators and an Eclectic Witch- it’s a pleasure to meet you 
Meditation and focusing the mind are great places to begin! There are so many benefits to practicing mindfulness and awareness (although it can sure be tricky- I’ve been working on it for years and still have trouble with distractions! 
)
When your inspiration rises and you get the urge to cast- I would gently encourage you to go for it, even if you still don’t feel quite ready. You already have the magick in you- it’s just a matter of taking action. You can do it! 
Speaking of which, have you come across the Spellcasting 101 Guide yet? It has some great tips and encouragement for those hoping to cast their first spells. I’ll leave a link here in case you are interested.
Make yourself at home here, Anna- Blessed be!

Hi @anna! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum!
It’s great to have you here! Meditation can be difficult. The courses will help you get started on it, but so with the stream Great Meditations on YouTube. They have hundreds of easy, ten-minute, guided meditations. I hope this helps you.
If you need anything else, just give a holler and someone will help you. I look forward to getting to know you!
